The cabochon cut on this star sapphire has been executed with meticulous attention to detail, focusing on enhancing its enchanting asterism, the star that dances across its surface under proper lighting.

The excellent polish complements the gem’s inherent beauty, offering a sleek, flawless surface that maximizes light reflection, essential for exhibiting its star-like feature to its full potential.

Rated as very slightly included at eye level, this purple star sapphire maintains a high clarity level, free of imperfections that might distract the naked eye. Such clarity, combined with intense coloration, means that the vibrant hues of purple can be admired in their true nature, offering depth and vitality that speak to the observer's heart. The intense color intensity intricately ties the qualities of mystery and sophistication together, making it an ideal centerpiece for a lifetime of treasured moments.
